Abstract

Social capital, defined as resources embedded in social networks, is one of the most frequently employed and referenced concepts and theories in social sciences today (Burt 2019). This essay addresses the emergence of the theory, describes its measurements and research, and explores some key issues. While the essay focuses on individual-level (ego-based) theorization and research, the final section offers some suggestions on how its theoretical basis can be extended to community-level research as well.
